about 1 h 45 min · 1–4 players

Stockholm, the evening of 13 January 1844. On the long, dark New Kungsholm Bridge between Norrmalm and Kungsholmen, a nobleman and public official is set upon, struck to the ground and robbed, and he dies of his wounds a few hours later. Four young men had made their decision that same evening at the brännvin table: they would rob the first person to cross the bridge. A real case from Swedish legal history: the actual investigation, the actual interrogations and the actual verdict, in which one was sentenced to death and executed and three received prison terms. The sources accompany the case.
